    Why would any SANE person block a bill That enhances a drug dealers punishment.
  • @user-qv1rl7zl6h
    Is Senator Booker referring to the same DOJ that gave a protester 10 years for breaking a window on Jan 6th instead of restitution and community service. How dumb to they think we are? I am definitely with Senator Kennedy on this one.

    Preach it dear brother Kennedy. You and your dedication are a blessing to all of mankind. You are my hero. 🙏💐🙏👍🏻.
  • Who’s paying Booker? How could he even object to something so important.
  • Senator Booker is a total embarrassment he doesn’t understand the proposed bill it’s deals with the “dealers” NOT the Addicts

    I just lost my son on Sunday. We’re still waiting to learn what the substance was, but whatever it was that was given to him, wasn’t what he thought it was. This hurts so bad and something definitely needs to be done about it. It’s killing too many good people and children. This is horrible. I want whoever gave him this stuff, prosecuted for murder. My son didn’t overdose, someone murdered him by poison.

    Our society is headed toward to allowing everything, with no punishment!!!
  • @rickkeys2345
    Sick and tired of these freaking Congressional representatives calling each other friends" and patting each other on the back" and then disagreeing" and getting "nothing done" can we stop the "bulshit" and get something done?
  • @emmychase8285
    Of course Booker doesn’t care about no one but himself
  • @LUGGNUTZTOWING
    This dude is my hero. Always tells it like it is without any sugar coating.
  • @ronr3334
    No Consequences for one's action, then there will be no fear. Weak Judges and Parole boards recycle the criminals that should stay incarcerated, harsher sentences need to be invoked.
  • FOLLOW THE MONEY... You will see why this criminal blocked it.
  • @user-ir1ii3pg5k
